All,
I was running a stock rooted LG G3. I decided I wanted to apply the OTA (I know, it was probably a terrible idea). Anyways I paid for the ChainFire SuperSU Pro hoping that I could apply the OTA keep root and carry on my way. After I applied the update it rebooted into TWRP and I couldn't get it to stop so I figured now was as good of time as any to wipe and install a custom ROM. I have tried both of the latest versions of unofficial CM12 and ParanoidAndroid and after I wipe and do the install then reboot it still goes back to the TWRP recovery. I am running version 2.8.3.0. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hey guys I have some questions regarding updating the firmware!
I am running the latest build of Viper rom (with the updated firmware) but before that i didn't actually update the firmware, I was told this could cause problems if you flash a rom with a new firmware. I haven't had any problems besides my camera not working (crashes when opened) but I'm hoping that updating the firmware properly can fix this.
So basically I'm wondering how can I update the firmware on my phone? I have hboot 1.4 on my phone, would simply flashing this zip:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21374142&postcount=131
work? should I do a full system wipe then flash this? It wouldn't remove root or cause any other problems right?
Sorry, I know I'm a noob but I'd rather risk looking like a noob before attempting anything myself and screwing it up. I'm really hoping to get my camera working and I hope this can help.
Thanks a lot!

FYI...you would update this via bootloader not recovery. I updated the firmware with no issues. Jut remember to delete the file after updating.
Should I do a full wipe before or after (or at all) updating the firmware?

that is the zip I used and i'm also on viper's rom...
DON'T FLASH IT put it on your sd card and reboot into bootloader and it will pick it up and update, no wipe needed or at least I didn't...
oh, don't put it in any folders or anything, just the main part of your sd...

your welcome, I know it took me a while to finally take the plunge myself and a lot of reading lol
What does updating the firmware actually do for us? I'm also using newest ViperRom and everything is working pretty flawlessly. What would I gain by updating?
I would like to try this new radio update, but let's say its not as strong for me; would I be able to go back to the radio I have now? (0.97.00.0518)
Update
Hi, everyone. I have a rooted Evo3D running software ver 2.08.651.2 with HBOOT 1.4. I am not running any particular rom other than stock. Clicking on the link provided above, gave me Freeza's convenient all-in-one recent ota update. Just to confirm, all I need to do is put into root directory of my sd card and go into bootloader and it will automatically update? Would it update my HBOOT 1.4 to 1.5? Anything else I need to install? Thanks.
I've been on stock rooted ROM (MDK) for longest time w/ CWM recovery. I decided I wanted to get back on the update track after this recent update came out and is already rooted. I defrosted all apps, unrooted the device with Voodoo OTA rootkeeper, and uninstalled SuperSU. I then flashed stock firmware with Odin as explained here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2301259
This didn't work. I get an error during install every time. After this I noticed when going into recovery (now stock) it would have an error immediately but then went into recovery. It would not let me clear the cache (after searching this seems to be common.) So I then did factory reset multiple times (didn't help) and next flashed a stock firmware that wipes my data. This had the same results as before. Do I have a corrupt recovery of some kind? Shouldn't flashing the stock firmware fix this? Do I need to get a new phone? Help!

i dont think you can update with an unlocked recovery... if you have cwm you have an unlocked recovery and i dont think you can relock it.
also you dont need to update if you have cwm then all you need to do is flash a MI1 rom (once they come out) and youre good. there is NO reason you would need to ACTUALLY update. you can flash pretty much everything whilst still keeping unlocked recovery under actual MDK firmware but with MI1 (or ME7) rom kernel and radios.

I would try using the me7 factory image that wipes everything and then try the upgrade.

There is no unlocked bootloader on the s4 what allows the installation of custom recovery is the loki exploit and its reversible.

There is no link or post on it really. Its a patched recovery and boot image so when you odin back to a factory image they get replaced with the non patched versions

Quick Qestion
I have a quick question, and i dont want to make a who new thread about it. But since we already talkin about it on here, is it worth it to do this Verizon update?? I just did a Verizon update 2 days ago. And now to me i think it just aggitated me. My Email are different now. My delete button moved and it added more buttons. And my task manager seems a lil different. Cant seem to put my finger on it.. But its weird. What else has changed? Was it even worth doing an update?
I know there are a lot of threads on the outdated SU binary problem, but none of them could help. I just updated my evo to 4.3 via ruu and so far I'm liking it. But I tryed installing SuperSu and it said the binary was outdated. I've had this happen lots of times before and flashing the SU update.zip always fixed it. This time I tried and it didn't work. I've been looking for other ways to fix the SU outdated binary problem but nothing has worked. I checked and I am still unlocked and s-off, it wiped recovery so flashed the latest twrp version. I would really like to try sense 5 out but I don't want to give up root.
Thanks in advance
Somebody had a similar issue getting the latest version of SuperSU to install. Go check out the SuperSU thread and try an older version and see if it works. That seems to have fixed the problem the other person had recently.

Thanks for replying, I just flashed 1.43 update instead of 1.93 and it did nothing. Also is it significant that in twrp when I reboot it tells me I'm not rooted and asks me if I want to install SuperSu, wether I have it installed or not (does nothing if I say yes or no)
Make sure you are using the correct twrp for the updated partitions
Sorry I'm kind of a noob, so what twrp should I be using and what is the updated partion

Very good enjoy
Hello. I want to root my nexus 9 without installing any custom recovery. I want this because i want to receive google updates...
And sont suggest me about "install custom recovery and when you need flash the stock etc.)
Thanks in advance
Wrong forum. This is a dev forum, not Q&A. Rooting w/out custom recovery is possible with chainfire's autoroot flashable zips. But still you won't receive OTA updates b/c since Lollipop the validation process has changed and you need to be pure stock. This also includes the recovery iirc.
Moved to correct forum
Just root it. You don't need custom. Use the nexus tool kit

Since when does rooting prevent OTA updates? Thats the first time I hear that.
On my N10 I always booted only into TWRP (fastboot boot twrp.img) and flashed from there the supersu.zip and still got OTAs without any issues.
I sold my N10 and my N9 is currently on the way to me so Im preparing everything to unlock and root it as soon as it arrives, thats why I am checking all those threads right now regarding root.
Well, I read only about this root injecting methode which doesnt sound very good to me and the nexus toolkit methode. Isnt it possible to boot into TWRP like I did before? Why shouldnt this work on the N9?

My bad. I should have said you will not be able to install OTA if you are rooted. The install script checks system files and if anything has been modified, it aborts installation. Your better option is to fastboot flash the Google factory image.
So what is the current working root methode for 5.1.1 without losing OTA or flashing any recovery?
This injecting thing, nexus toolkit or another way?
--edit--
seems like CF-Auto-Root (special version for the N9) works also? Im right now having 40 windows open in chrome, trying to find the best way...
Question is, does it still work for 5.1.1?
Again: Why should not boot into TWRP and then flash the supersu zip not work? Any issues with that?
Please share your experience. Thanks

It's a Nexus device. The easiest root method is to fastboot flash TWRP, the download SuperSU and flash it in recovery. Link here > http://download.chainfire.eu/740/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.49.zip

Alright, so the 'usual' way works as always, thanks for clearing this up. Was wondering if there were still some issues with rooting the N9.
So you suggest the beta version of supersu, will give a try first to the stable one, if this doesnt work ill try the beta.
Thanks m8

Stable should work for Lollipop. Beta necessary for M. And beta works fine on Lollipop, too, FWIW.
I've lost root twice after flashing ROMs in TWRP. Here is the process I'm going through:
Flash 10b using the LGFlashTool.
Root using StumpRoot. Verify successful Root via RootChecker/SuperSU/BusyBox.
Use Flashify to install TWRP bumped (2.8.0.0, then upgrade to 2.8.3.0 using the recovery.img in this link w/ Flashify: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...recovery-twrp-touch-recovery-2-8-2-0-t2966014)
Reboot and verify root again.
Boot into TWRP, wipe (tried factory reset and advanced cache/system/boot/data methods)
Install ROM (tried Resurrection 5.2.8 and Illusion 3.0).
Reboot, lose root.
I am new to the G3, but I've done many flashes on several devices throughout the years thanks to the folks on XDA. If someone could point out my error it would be much appreciated!
I don't know about resurrection but illusion comes with root disabled. Just flash the latest SU package.

BTW searching within the rom threads would have given you the answer faster than typing up this new thread.
I didn't see notes in the OP in either ROM thread regarding disabled root nor flashing SuperSU. Thanks for the quick reply.
you're not alone. I lost root on CM12 (o'1.5.15) and can't seem to get it back either. I was hoping your post was on that, but no avail. I have tried flashing su.zip latest from twrp 2.8.3.0 with no success.
----
turns out, bad zip and adb/apps disabled within dev options of CM12. might not be the same on the ROMs your dealing, but was my solution. FWIW.
Just download the latest SuperSU zip and flash it in recovery and you should have root back just check in developer options that root is enabled
Here's a link to the latest SuperSU zip

I am new to android and rooting so please bear with me. I used the LG flash to to downgrade from 12b and then I got TWRP and flashed Illusion and Gapps, but now it says I am not rooted and I cannot seem to get back into TWRP. Is my best option to start over using the flash tool? Is there a better lollipop rom that keeps root? This forum has been so helpful in the learning process so thanks in advance.

Wow. I'm such a noob. (facepalm) Thank you!
Yeah I'd also like to chime in on this a few weeks ago I went to try cm12 (was using illusion 4.0) and I also had root problems too
But then I've read twice in the last ten minutes that cm12 has deprecated supersu.
So basically it sounds like illusion 4.0 just hadn't updated enough yet to be like cm12.
I seriously thought my phone had major issues. Paired with the PA gapps cluster f... Yeah basically I haven't had to use roms for nearly 2 years.
Anyway thanks four this useful thread!
If you have a custom recovery installed you can't "lose root".
You can always get it back by flashing SU or whatever.
CM12 has root as an option in the developer section of the settings.
